Traffic Kings: [Single] Sir

Sir William Christopher Alexander, who records under the name “Sir”, is an American rapper and Songwriter. He was born in Jacksonville, FL. His first induction into music came long before he ever picked up a pen to write his first Song. At the age of 12 Sir wrote his first poem “Love Letter” which would soon propel his ability to bend, rhyme, and exaggerate words. He began sitting with his brother Terry Thompson Jr, The oldest of three brothers, experimenting with instrumentals, freestyle rapping, testing the rap waters. It wasn’t until Sir started working with the rap group Young Society when he realized that he had a hidden love for making music. Sir’s lyrical inspiration came from Nas, Jay – Z, Kanye West, Drake, Notorious B.I.G, and his Favorite rapper of all time Eminem. Having studied each of these amazing talents, he took his poetic style and mentality to deliver his version of Hip Hop. The rapper, songwriter and producer of hip hop known only as Sir has released his latest single track, “She Got It.” The track has been proudly released under the independent Royalty Music Group. Indomitable, melodic, with a powerful back beat and moments of great intensity, “She Got It” is easily one of the best pop tracks to come from an independent rapper in quite some time. Sir cites as main artistic influences a broad array of pop and hip-hop stars including Drake, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, the Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, Nas, Canibus, Clip Heatwood, Slick Rick, and Michael Jackson. A particularly eloquent master of the mic, Sir’s lyrics are deliberate and concise, chosen for sound, rhythm and meaning in equal measures. “I started off managing a rap group by the name of Young Society,” writes Sir of his start in hip hop. “After realizing that my true gift was being behind the mic and impacting people from the stage, I decided to turn to the life of recording and performing.” A man of great drive and personal direction, Sir’s music has always been about improving the world around him. Though the power and groove of “She Got It” stand out as clear priorities for the artist, it is the reason underpinning the track with which Sir is chiefly interested. Speaking of these themes, Sir comments, “My music gives people looking for a way to express how they feel about today’s society (music, media, etc.) a voice to be heard, received by the masses. ‘She Got It’ speaks for those women who have what it takes to command attention without saying a word. They are independent and in demand. ‘She Got It’ also speaks about acknowledging the beauty in every woman as well as admiring their confidence. Sir was born Sir William Christopher Alexander in Jacksonville, FL. He has been honing his craft since the age of 13. “She Got It” by Sir is available online worldwide.
